Finished all of the G.K. Chesterton Father Brown stories, still casting about for something new ... have to wait a little bit, though, got an Advance Review Copy of a book I need to read first.
Reading lots of free stuff. It's a mixed bag. A couple I gave up on after a chapter or two. But since I am a new author begging for readers, I thought I would read a bunch of them. Maybe it will give me karma points!
I'm reading a strange/funny book called Lost at the Con, interesting enough to finish and 44 Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith which is not a mystery but a novel which was serialized in a newspaper.
I am reading science book by Brian Greene called The Hidden Reality and the kindle is great for accessing the dictionary and footnotes.
Spontanious Happieness by Weil.
I finished 11/22/63 by Stephen King this afternoon and it was brilliant! Now I've started reading Four to Score by Janet Evanovich.
Just finished The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values and started Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life, both for Science and Inquiry Group reads.
I finished a crazy book about a cannibalistic cult called Inside the Outside, which was very good.I just started DRACULAS which is by 4 authors: F. Paul Wilson, Jeff Strand, Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn. I have high hopes for it!
Just finished Get a Life by Laura Peyton Roberts. It is kind of Sweet Valley series, and I got it free on Amazon.
$3.99 on kindle. Book #3 in the Significance series by Shelly Crane. The first book is .99 on Kindle. Great series!!!!!!
I have just finished the delightful Broken City. Was very surprised at the writing and once I got into the book, I couldn't put it down. Now I am going to read The Truce for review.
I decided not to read The Truce last night as I couldn't think straight, so I started reading Private Eyes.
I finished DRACULAS which was a fun filled gore fest. I started We Need to Talk About Kevinwhich, so far, is chilling.
Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs (sequel to Princess of Mars which is what John Carter based on) and I'm borrowing Tears of the Sun by SM Stirling. Both books are for free. I do love the kindle collection
Finished We Need to Talk About Kevin and started on two: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly and Origin.
I do seem to read faster on the Kindle. Anyway, now I'm reading Chill Waters and Big Easy. I'm enjoying both books. Both were free downloads.
This morning I finished Private Eyes and also read Husband Won't Buy Wife a Kindle - Franklin Eddy. Now I am reading Star Gazing and I am loving it so far.
Just finished, "Hooked" by Polly Iyer. Hooked by Polly IyerAmazon $2.99
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_...
Hooked is the perfect title for this latest in author Polly Iyer's romantic suspense novels. Every character in this book has a duality of purpose born of inclination and sometimes greed. And this is the authors challenge, asking the reader to understand, and maybe empathize, with people whose behavior is frequently on the other side of the law.
Benny Cooper, late of wall-street fame and married father of two, has the perfect job; hooked on the glamour of sex, he rents out apartments to beautiful young women, accepts a simple fee for the contracted liaison, and in Benny's mind he's not a pimp, he's simply a business man who gets to sample the wares. But Benny's perfect life comes apart when a young dead prostitute is connected to his high-class establishment and the NYPD sends Lincoln Walsh, sex crimes detective, to get to the bottom of it.
Enter Tawny Dell, recently retired and financially independent call girl who takes her secrets and off-shore accounts to an idyllic beach, that is until Lincoln Walsh hooks her with threats of jail for tax evasion unless she helps him find a killer.
That there's an instant attraction between the two is expected, but as the story unfolds we get to glimpse into the complex nature of these two people, and though we root for them, it's not until the end that we get to see if their attraction can be sustained in the duality of their life choices.
Add a dying mob boss, whose legacy of a legitimate family construction business is about to crumble because one of his own becomes part of the investigation, and last but not least, a stalwart and trusted father figure to Linc whose own agenda will threaten Tawny life.
Romance, suspense, humor, tragedy, and yes justice, gives a satisfying end to the book. This author could easily be compared to the likes of Catherine Coulter, but I believe Polly Iyer will soon be America's most popular romantic suspense writer.
I just finished Necropolis, a really enjoyable noir mystery set 50 years in the future.Now I'm starting a historical mystery,
